I have Martha's lineage back to Pocahontas. She apparently died in I think Alabama (My records are at home), as they emigrated to Texas, (Grimes County Texas). Both of her son's were in the Civil War. One of them is buried in the State Cemetary in Austin, Texas. I am related to Robert Stringfellow Benson's sister, Dulcebella, who also emigrated to Texas (with her husband, James M. Crawford) to adjacent Washington County Texas. They all were shown in Pickens, South Carolina in November of 1835 at church. Dulcebella and James Crawford arrived in Texas about 1840. I have much more data at home. Robert Stringfellow Benson married two times after Martha Bolling Benson died.
